That the "yellows' in peaches is
not contagious disease is claimed by
the fact that the microscope shows no
fungi on the leaves, fruit, wood or
roots, while orchards often lose only u

trary to the claim that it is not conta-
gious, however is the spreading of the
disease over whole sections after max

Whether the 'yellows" be really con-
tagious disease or due to some sub
stance found or lacking IN the soil is
still a matter of controversy Troy

How They utilise shoe Buttoners in the

II Is singular fact that nine out Of
ten Of the "bums' and tramps brought
into the statiou-houso have on their
persons q shoe-buttoner. No matter
what kind Of shoes they wear still they
have ore Of these simple instru-
mcnts. Lieutenant Handbook decided
TO make a collection Of shoe-buttoners
taken from tho prisoners brought into
Bremen Street Station. In seven days
they numbered eighteen, and like
young ladies do with their strings of
buttons, he attached them together q.
lie has now chain some three feet in

look end is bent into variety OF
shapes. This penchant for having but
toners attracted the attention of the
detectives long ago. and 1t was quito a
while before they "tumbled" rs the
slang phrase goes. II happened to
strike some bright-minded "ny" that
the little instrument, usually very fcNi-
bic, could be made to do the work Df a
skeleton key rs far rs the locks in com.
mon use are concerned. In reality
the shoe-buttoner, TO all intcnts and
purposes, was converted into burg
lars tool, and still could be readily
paIsed of as n necessary implement in
arranging ones toilet. The possession
of a skeleton key is a serious ofonse
and carries with conviction q penal
term. Tho law, however, can not
regard the shoe-buttoncr as a contra
band article, and still the evil-intendcd
are rs well fortified with il as with the
burglars favoritc tool, since, when
properly shaped, it does the work
equally as well. The expert can pick
lock with one Of these little iron
hooks with as much facility as il he
had skeleton key, and yet il caught

nifty from the statute covering the
oifense. Usually when one of these
instruments is found on u prisoners
person il is thrown away, or perhaps,
given back, IL the owner is released.
No doubt in the course of year several
hundred arc taken up by the police.
The amount of theft that could be
traced TO them would very probably
prove startling. .- Cincinnati Enquirer.

eEsT FEEDING lime.
An Important Lesson Taught by the III
pertinent Of Two Scientists.


When ought working animals to be
fed? This question has met and mer-
its some discussion. With oxen il docs
not make much difference, except that
an ON with full paunch is heavy aud
loggy. He will chew bis cud whenever
he has q mind to, aud. Of course, carry
his food undigestcd about with him.
A horse, however. can not work well
on full stomach. His time Of feeding
should be his time Of prolonged rest.
II he has full hours nooning he may
have a light feed, IL he is not hot or OK
hausted, in which case he should first
cool OF and then have water with oat-
meal in Il aud double handful in the
bottom Of the pail. This will be worth
more 10 him than four quarts Of oa.s.
On a short incoming, or none at all,
water with oatmeal Is better than q
"ieed." The oats will lie in his stom-
ach until he is again at rest They
will swell up, but will not digest.
some students Of physiology once took
two dogs, fed each alike with neatly.
cut cubes Of mutton. which were swal-
lowed whole. One dog was then tied
under wagon aud made TO run for
two hours. At the end OF that time
both dogs were killed. In one the
mutton was nearly or quite digested.
In the one that had been running the
cubes of meat were as sharp-corncred rs
when they had been eaten. The inn

spiritualistic Exposure

Another spiritualistic medium, who
had played upon the creduiity of sew.
eral alleged wise men of Boston, was
recently exposed by group of ener
getic unbelievers. Twelve muscular
and determined Bostonians-of the
unintellectual class, il is worth while
to note, ATTENDED a seance operated
by Mrs. II. V. Ross. At given signal
each man seized a spirit and held it,
One of those spirits materialized into
Mr.. Ross and revolver but he was
promptly disarmed. and all the other
ghosts became flesh and blood when
the lights were turned up. The spirits
gloomily but respectfully gave back
the money that their audience had
paid for admission, and all parties to
the trance-action were satisfied. A
Harvard professor is said to be one OF
the persons whom Mrs. Ross had i'm
posed upon, which goes to prove that
common sense and not mere learning
is the proper thing 10 investigate spir-
ituallsm with
